Has anybody done RC "Labadee Snorkel Safari" or "Labadee Speedboat And Snorkel" excursion? Wondering what to do on Labadee (not into the zip line or coaster).

My friend and I did this "tour" about a month ago on CC. As mentioned above, it is a tour where you are in a group of about 10 or 12 and following the leader in a single file, not a free for all. Some straight runs fast (I hit 36 "mph"), S curves, sweeping turns, ect covering a good distance. We had fun for almost a hour.

Have a Happy Birthday

And it is lobster tail, not a whole lobster for the "free" one. On Adventure OTS in March, I ordered this lobster and prime rib (made my own surf and turf)...and the waiter brought me double tails and prime rib...all at no extra charge. Though, a few weeks back, on a 3 day Mariner cruise in the Caribbean, at Chops, my friend got the upcharge lobster , and it was a whole lobster.

Did anyone this morning cancel and rebuy a item in the cruise planner and NOT get a email confirmation of the cancellation. In the past, I got a cancellation email, but did not today when swapped the DBP for a lower price.

The (Crispy) Chicken sandwich was very good.

I did a Uber from Miami port, to FLL port on 4/8 (around 9am), a Monday, and a Uber X with two people was $80.70

Unfortunately, RC does not use (a good thing environmentally) small paper umbrellas in drinks.

Last summer I was on my first cruise with my sister, and her family to Alaska on Explorer OTS. On the second night, we had dinner in the MDR. For dessert, a bunch of us also ordered espressos or cappuccinos. When the Assistant Waitress brought out the coffees, she puts down my nieces drink, and I start laughing out loud. She used a small oblong gravy boat instead of a small coffee (espresso) cup. Of course all our meals in the MDR we would look out for this waitress, as well as kept ordering espresso/cappuccinos to try and get a gravy boat again.

Another possible option if you gamble a lot (and have good credit) is to get a line of credit with the casino. I did this last summer before my first RC cruise, allowing me to withdraw money, charging it to my SeaPass card, without the 5% charge. Then paying it off on my credit card which I get very good points with (triple points for "travel"). Here is the RC link. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/casino-credit I believe, as with most lines of credit, this will put a "hard inquiry" on your credit report.

Maybe when they finish all the construction, they could offer a All Access Island Tour with behind the scene areas.

Great thread @Bish. Thanks for all the details before, and during your family's great trip.

Could they offer one way 3 or 4 night cruises from or to Florida, with a one or two night hotel/land stay at the resort/hotel pre or post cruise? Just a idea.

When you book it, yes you are prepaying for it now. My understanding is,almost everything bought on the cruise planner ahead a time can be cancelled. So if you see something you like, at a good price, but it.

255 now.

Thanks...exactly what I need.

Thanks @CGTLH. After looking closer, I see in the description that it is Surf & Stream, though the title says just Zoom.

Thanks.

Thanks. Yes, my first mission when on board will be to make my reservations. I will search out that 2nd FB group.

Next week I start two cruises, the first being (a 3 day) Mariner from Miami cruise, and the same return day leaving from Ft Lauderdale on Majesty. Any good ideas besides Uber/Lyft getting from the first to the second cruise. It will be myself and one friend. I thought maybe take a shuttle/transfer from the Miami port to FLL airport, and then Uber from FLL airport to the FLL port. Anybody do this before? Thanks

First, a little background, for my first post here. I have been a lurker here for about a year, and greatly appreciate Matt and everyone who contributes here with so much great information. My first cruise was a last minute (well, two weeks before) booking to Alaska last August, joining my sister and her family...where I caught the cruising bug big time (the Casino Royale offers helped). Last week I booked for myself the July 4th Anthem group cruise, which looks really good, and I have a few questions about that. Is there a area here for discussion for group members here? I have seen the FB posting with some comments. I have purchased the DBP w/ Zoom (no Surf). I have read here a few times that people say that the internet on Anthem is very good. I do not do streaming much (maybe a some youtubes), but do check email, FB, and websites often. Will I go crazy with just Zoom, without Surf/Stream? I have also purchased the BOGO 2 Night Dining package (for the first two nights). Does anyone know if I could choose Wonderland as one of my options? I believe when I get on board, I can adjust the first nights restaurant. Thanks Ken (from NJ)
